With an award from the Hartwell Foundation, BU's Samagya Banskota and colleagues are working on a novel method of developing treatments for “rare” genetic diseases that, taken together, affect millions of people. spr.ly/60134PtAB
Co-founded by BU ENG's Ayse Coskun, Emerald AI has raised $24.5 million in seed funding, with backers including Nvidia; Google's chief scientist; and former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry. spr.ly/6019fHmiz
Elise Morgan is our next dean! BU Provost: Elise showed “exemplary leadership” over 2 yrs as interim dean. "She has established her own vision for the college as a laboratory for innovation and a training ground for premier engineering talent." spr.ly/6012f6XLG
In a key step toward a future of quantum computing, a joint BU-Berkeley-Northwestern team has demonstrated the first-ever electronic–photonic–quantum system on a chip, built in a commercial semiconductor foundry. spr.ly/601844bnn
“Can you explain how geothermal energy works and how it can be applied to housing? Is it ‘clean’ energy?” A reader asked the Bay State Banner those questions, and energy expert Emily Ryan helped to answer them.... spr.ly/60174Itez
The pomelo fruit's complex, spongy peel protects it from falls of up to 50 feet. With a U.S. Navy grant, Greg McDaniel plans to figure out precisely what the pomelo is doing right, and translate that to a protective coating for a torpedo or a ship’s hull. spr.ly/60184thHE
With Ayse Coskun as chief scientist, a new company aims to control the computational power demand from data centers running AI workloads, while ensuring performance guarantees. spr.ly/60154YKMv
"For decades, American universities and the federal government have partnered to produce life-changing discoveries, not just in medicine but transportation, communication, water and air quality, nutrition, security, and more." spr.ly/60134i79D
A BU team has begun to disentangle cognitive and motor processes, with implications in the near term for the research community and in the long term for people with neurological conditions. spr.ly/60114BvhR
We’re proud to introduce our @BU_Tweets Hariri Institute 2025 Fellows + 2026 FRP awardees! An inspiring group of researchers pushing interdisciplinary boundaries in computing, AI & data science at @BU_Computing 🔗 spr.ly/601446KKj #AI #DataScience #BUResearch #FRP2026
Five BU experts ably pitched their research to a very young crowd at the Museum of Science. The children learned how electrical and computer engineering can promote human health and well-being. spr.ly/6013NgoOT
Spiral-shaped light beams might solve the looming internet "capacity crunch." Siddharth Ramachandran explains how in Tech Briefs: spr.ly/6017Nj0CN
For a Senior Design project, some of our students built a solar collector that heats up water for residential use. Learn how they did it: spr.ly/6019N3zsS
BRAINBOW BULLETIN: Profiles @BostonU_BME Chair John White, whose work combines cutting-edge techniques to study how brain cells function together, and spotlights Prof. Wilson Wong’s recent @AIMBE Fellowship. READ>> mailchi.mp/bu/brainbow-5-… SUBSCRIBE!>>bu.edu/kilachandcente…
Siddharth Ramachandran's work with light wave devices has helped advance optical networks, laser-based defense systems, brain imaging, and quantum computing. Hear him talk about his research experiences in industry and academia: spr.ly/6017Nystf
With an Innovator Award from the Rainin Foundation, Miguel Jimenez and Liang Hao aim to create a next-generation microbial therapy for the millions of people suffering from inflammatory bowel diseases. spr.ly/6018N1448
Kamal Sen's novel algorithm for better hearing aids gets a mention in this round-up of innovative research: spr.ly/6012N8DEw
In crowded, noisy settings, it can be hard for the hearing-impaired to follow a single conversation, even with a hearing aid. But help is on the way. Learn more about Kamal Sen's biologically oriented sound segregation algorithm (BOSSA): spr.ly/60172xJML
